Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for an electromagnetic actuator having a unitary pole piece arranged within and coupled to a housing. The electromagnetic actuator can include the housing, the unitary pole piece, an armature received within the unitary pole piece, and an end cap. The unitary pole piece is structured to provide a reduction in air gaps within the electromagnetic actuator.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a solenoid valve (100) comprising a valve portion (14) and a solenoid portion (300). The valve portion has a pin (12), the pin having a groove. The solenoid portion has an aperture (36) configured to receive the pin. A resilient locking device (40) is located in the aperture, the resilient locking device configured to engage the groove when the pin has been inserted into the aperture to releasably hold the pin in the aperture. There is also a movable cap (104) having a first and second position wherein, in the first position the movable cap does not abut the resilient locking device and wherein, in the second position, the movable cap abuts the resilient locking device so as to prevent movement of the resilient locking device out of the groove. A method of locking a valve portion to a solenoid portion of a solenoid valve is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An article exhibiting magnetic properties, a method for providing corrosion resistance to an article, and an electric machine element are disclosed. The article comprises a substrate comprising a first portion of a magnetic material, the magnetic material exhibiting magnetic properties. The article further comprises a transition layer comprising a second portion of the magnetic material and a first portion of a coating material. The transition layer is disposed on at least a portion of the substrate. The article further comprises an outer layer comprising a second portion of the coating material. The outer layer is disposed on at least a portion of the transition layer.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic actuator having a unitary pole piece arranged within and coupled to a housing is provided. The housing is coupled to the unitary pole piece such that a load on the unitary pole piece is reduced during assembly and/or installation of the electromagnetic actuator. The unitary pole piece is structured to reduce leakage past an armature slidably received within the pole piece.
Abstract:
Overrun air recirculation valves for compressors on internal combustion engines, having a flow housing (58) with an inlet (60) and an outlet (62), having an electromagnetic actuator (10) arranged in an actuator housing (11), having a control body (66) which can be moved by way of the actuator (10), having a housing interior (82) in which an armature (32) of the electromagnetic actuator (10) is movable, having openings (80) in the control body (66), via which openings the housing interior (82) is fluidically connected to a duct (63), which can be closed off by the control body (66), in the flow housing (58), and having a connector housing (46) which bears axially against the actuator (10) and which at least partially delimits the housing interior (82), are known. To realize a sealed housing interior and to protect the coil on all sides against an ingress of liquids or gases, it is proposed that, on the connector housing (46), there is arranged a first sealing ring (48), which bears against a guide sleeve (26) or an armature sleeve of the actuator (10), and there is arranged a second sealing ring (124), which bears against the flow housing (58) on the axially opposite side of the connector housing (46).
